The bodies there mentioned include all Special Health Authorities. This Order provides that the above requirement shall not apply to the Special Health Authorities listed in the Schedule for a financial year ending on 31st March 2004, 31st March 2005, or 31st March 2006. For each of those financial years, the accounts of those Special Health Authorities will either be incorporated into the resource accounts of the Department of Health or will be included in Whole of Government Accounts.
